This is the thirty-second lesson in our beginner level Spanish course and we will look at The Months in Spanish<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

We will practice using some of the regular verbs<\/a> we have already seen in the course in present tense<\/a> with The Months in Spanish<\/strong>. In our previous lesson we used regular verbs to practice using The Days of the Week in Spanish<\/a>. Present tense is used to describe usual\/general actions, so we will be talking about things we usually\/generally do in the specific months of the year.<\/p>\n

First of all let\u2019s learn The Months in Spanish<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n

Enero: January
\nFebrero: February
\nMarzo: March
\nAbril: April
\nMayo: May
\nJunio: June
\nJulio: July
\nAgosto: August
\nSeptiembre: September
\nOctubre: October
\nNoviembre: November
\nDiciembre: December<\/p>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

Some other relevant vocabulary to The Months in Spanish<\/strong><\/h3>\n

El mes: Month
\nEl a\u00f1o: Year
\nEl d\u00eda: Day
\nLa semana: Week
\nLa fecha: Date<\/p>\n

El invierno: Winter
\nLa primavera: Spring
\nEl verano: Summer
\nEl oto\u00f1o: Autumn<\/p>\n

Dates in Spanish<\/h3>\n

First let’s see how to state dates in Spanish and how to state in which month you do something:<\/p>\n

En enero\/febrero\/marzo\/etc…: In January\/February\/March\/etc…
\nFor example: En agosto no trabajo: I don’t work in August<\/p>\n

El (date) de (month): The (date) of (month)
\nEl cinco de marzo: The 5th of March<\/p>\n

As you can see, we use En<\/em> if we wish to state In<\/em> which month we do something or something happens. And when we state dates we use El<\/em> for The<\/em> (referring to the day) and De<\/em> for Of<\/em> (referring to the month).<\/p>\n

When you state dates in Spanish you use the same numbers 1-31 that we learned in Lesson 3: Numbers 1-100<\/a> of this Spanish Course. We don’t use first, second, third, fourth, etc. We use El uno de…, el dos de…, el tres de…, el cuatro de…<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s practice using\u00a0The Months in Spanish<\/strong> with some regular Spanish verbs<\/h3>\n

\nEstudiar: To study
\nCocinar: To cook
\nBeber: To drink
\nAndar: To walk
\nViajar: To travel
\nLavar: To wash<\/p>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

Practice making lots of your own sentences in Spanish to learn how to use them and the present tense by repetition. Try writing one sentence to describe something you usually do in each month of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
